Not a direct answer but jumping in the train as it is passing in front of me (hint: Frenglish probability high in this sentence). I still dream of someone working on a nice "debconf-common" package which would include some code and common debconf templates for such common operations....like prompting for a password, confirming it and warn users when both don't match. Of course, there could then be more such common templates for other very generic stuff. The initial idea would be sharing the *wording* and maybe go further and share some code. The common templates could then be used with the nice (and underused) debconf REGISTER command. See dbconfig-common for an implementation. Anyone feeling like trying to start such package?
